Way too big, wore it to make some content
It's beautiful, but it is way too oversized. I decided to make it a gown moment and film some content in it, so it didn't go to waste.

It's a great dress, but it's not a sweater dress
This is a fabulous, sexy, form-fitting dress, but it is not a sweater dress. It is a bodycon dress. The top part is sweater-like and much more sparkly than I expected. The material is thick and holds you in well. It's a great dress, just not a sweater dress if that is what you're expecting.

Take this one everywhere!
I looooved this bag. It fists a full sized wallet, sunglasses, keys and phone. If I had a smaller wallet it could portably fit a small water bottle. So well made. Gorgeous color.

Great sweater
I was so excited to get early access to this sweater. It is a very elegant statement piece. The tie at the top is removable. It looks great with black or brown pants. I wore it for work to an event and out for drinks. Received many compliments every time.

Trendy and cute!
At 5’1 36/29/42, jeans are often a struggle but these are a winner. Comfortable, easy to dress up or down. The fit is loose, but they don’t look sloppy. Great for curves.

Cute, cozy, flirty
This dress is adorable. Perfect flirty fit-and-flare. Be warned: the waist has very little give, even though there is elastic. For reference, my waist is 30” and it was fitted, not too tight but almost.

Stunning bag
This is a simple, elegant statement bag. It holds everything you need for the day. I even managed to fit my laptop. I reserved it for a NYC trip and wore it everywhere.

Cute, fun, so many compliments
I got so many compliments on this dress, I lost count. It's light, easy wear, super flattering, cinch the waist as much as you want. People ran after me to tell me how much they loved it! I wore it out to dinner with wedges and on a day off with sneakers. Can't go wrong.

Cue: I feel pretty
You will be singing that song as soon as you put this beauty on. I wish we had more time together - or that the weather was good enough to wear a second time. Wore it for an anniversary dinner and it felt fun, flirty, and feminine. Size up if you have a bigger chest. I'm 36/30/43.

Great find!
I loved this one. It's sharp, leans into the menswear trend while accommodating for curves. I wore it to a work event and a big meeting. It made an impression both times. Just to let you know, the armholes are big. You either need to be ready to show some side-boob or wear something under it. I went with a butter yellow satin top, and a puffy-sleeved white button-down. I'm 5/1", 36/30/43

One of my faves
This one is so nice, I rented it twice in a row. Other reviews said it is very cropped. I did not have that experience. It fell below the belly button, above the hips. I'm 5'1", 36/30/43. I wore it many times!

lovely, can lean a bit sexy
Fits well, feels nice on (it's good a good weight to it). Ultimately, it was deemed (by the husband) too sexy for a work event, but I'm curvy (36/30/43). At 5'1, I didn't find it too long. It was a bit longer than a midi, but didn't hit maxi length.

Perfect top
Great on its own or thrown over a tank. The details are lovely and are an immediate upgrade to a classic basic. It's oversized but won't drown you—very comfortable and relaxed look.

This is a show-stopper with the one shoulder, bare midriff and high slit. But the material is heavy for hot weather.

Very cute romper for curves. Size up and you won’t be disappointed. It’s not too short, it’s very comfortable, and flattering. This was my husband’s fave!

Very pretty and easy to wear
I wore this to work, out to dinner, on a day off. It’s easy to wear and it makes a statement. The color combo got lots of compliments, think: pink lemon aide! My measurements are 38/29/43 and I should have sized down.

Soft and romantic
This dress is lovely, low cut, and lightweight (but not see through). I wore it mostly on hot days around the house and lounging in the yard. It kind of has a nightgown vibe, which is definitely in this summer. I’m 5’1 and it hit the top of my foot, so it’s not too long if you’re a shortie like me.

Soooo cute, but …
Oh is she pretty! The belt is kimono style and wraps, lays, and stays beautifully. It has an adorable short (but not too short) full a-line and is super comfortable. Sadly, she only made one appearance because she attracts lots of lint.

A classic
I reached for this one more times than I can count. It goes with everything. Some of the reviews said it runs small, and I sized up. It was fine when I wore it open, but would have been to big if I wore it closed. I'm a 38DDD/EEE, for reference.

Sweet like candy
She lives up to her name. This is a darling bag that I used every day. It gives a pop of color to a neutral dress, elevates denim, and went very nicely with a cocktail dress. This one was hard to send back. I miss her already.

So pretty and easy to wear
A lovely skirt, it fits like a slip skirt but isn't shiny, so it's perfect for daytime. I wore it with sneakers to work and a t-shirt, and date night with wedges and a tank. I ordered a size 12, because the 10 wasn't available but I'm glad I did. My waist/hip measurements are 29/44. The waist on the 12 is a bit big, but it's elastic, so there was ok. The hips fit comfortably, the 10 would have fit like a pencil skirt. Hope that helps!

So pretty!!!
The weather didn’t cooperate, so I didn’t get to wear it but I tried it on several times. I rented this in a 10 and a 12. My measurements are 38/30/44. They both fit, the 12 gave a more relaxed (but still fitted) look, the 10 was more fitted in the arms and waist. I would have gone with the 10, but the 12 was equally pretty and very comfortable.

Super flattering easy wear day dress
This dress is easy wear, just throw it on and pop some buttons on the top - or not - and cinch the waist to your liking. It goes with sneakers, flats, heals, or boots. I wore it around the house on a warm day, and with a sweater to lunch on a cooler day. Some reviews mention the slit is high, at 5'1, I did not have that problem, although the dress hit just below my knee, and it might have been an issue if I was taller.

Great bag, holds a lot but is still elegant and not too big. You can fit a large glasses case, a bottle of water, your phone, keys, wallet, and still have room for more.

The coolest vest!
This is a good one! It immediately upgrades any outfit. I wore it to work over a button down, on date night over a body suit and you can definitely wear it on its own. Size up if you have a larger chest and want to wear it closed. The vest part is generously sized, but you want the room for the interior "bralette" part.

Dress it up or down
This is a GREAT sweater. You can go bigger to have an oversized look (but be warned, there are bell sleeves) or order your size and have a chic, elegant sweater to throw over everything. I wore it wile WFH, out to dinner and lunch and even with a silk blouse to an event.
